Chapter 2733 - 2734: Battle of the Turtle and Dragon
Chapter 2733 - 2734: Battle of the Turtle and Dragon
Bai Ruozhu was somewhat annoyed, glaring at the Merfolk, she said: "At a time like this, you are still so afraid? Do you plan to wait and die on the turtle’s back, letting it take you into the sea depths? You’ve never had freedom in your whole life, and will you continue to have no freedom in the future?"
She sneered, "Do you really think doing nothing will ensure your survival? The Dragon Ball is inside the Xuan Gui, and it will soon transform into a dragon. Once it successfully transforms, the first thing it will do is to break the Barrier and kill all the Merfolk controlling it. Will you be able to escape then?"
"That’s right, it’s better to fight now; after the Xuan Gui transforms, no one can deal with it." Wenyu quickly said.
Everyone fell silent, finally, someone spoke up first, "Yes, we can’t sit here and wait for our deaths any longer, let’s fight!"
"Let’s fight, even if we all die, as long as the children survive!"
"Alright, we’ll listen to Master Bai, let’s try it!"
Bai Ruozhu looked at Jiang Yichun; actually, his clansmen weren’t too bad.
Since everyone agreed, Wenyu organized the people according to the Array distribution, then they sat down cross-legged, preparing to break the Barrier together.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Feng Ran rushed over, saying: "He agreed to open the Barrier."
"Isn’t there a trap?" Bai Ruozhu didn’t want to see Feng Ran sad, but she really couldn’t trust the great elder. The great elder was stubborn and crazy, such a person’s attitude is hard to change.
Feng Ran smiled bitterly, "He hasn’t changed his mind, but he has found out that he can’t control the Xuan Gui anymore, and he sensed the Xuan Gui’s transformation is imminent; by then the entire Merfolk Clan will face death, it’s better now to give everyone a chance to escape."
"Is he still considering his clansmen now?" Bai Ruozhu snorted, "What was he doing earlier?"
Feng Ran said nothing; Bai Ruozhu knew she felt bad inside, so she didn’t continue to mock.
Actually, Feng Ran had always been conflicted; after all, he was the husband she once loved.
The only remaining three elders were released, but they had been poisoned by Bai Ruozhu and couldn’t stir up any trouble anymore.
The three of them instantly aged several years, appearing even more pitiful when compared with the young Merfolk around them.
"I have no other request, just hope you spare those aristocrats." The great elder spoke up.
Jiang Yichun gritted his teeth, "Those who ate my mother’s flesh must die!"
A monstrous killing intent rose from him, his teeth gritted loudly, as if gnawing at the bones and flesh of the great elder and his group.
The great elder instinctively stepped back, "You, you..."
"Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense with me, or I’ll kill you right now!" Jiang Yichun growled deeply.
Bai Ruozhu stepped forward and grabbed his hand, helping him calm down a bit. The killing aura he emitted slightly receded, but he still held great hatred towards the three elders; anyone could see he wouldn’t let them go.
Feng Ran sighed; what was meant to come had finally come; the great elder had stolen so much time, he should return to the deep sea.
The great elder no longer looked at Jiang Yichun and his group, appearing to have withdrawn his resentment; he, along with the three elders, sat cross-legged and quickly began chanting spells. Soon, a faint halo spread across the ground, gradually expanding and forming into an array pattern. The three elders’ hair quickly turned white, and they continued to age, as though the Array was draining their lifespan!
Many people were frightened and retreated repeatedly, fortunately, the Array only affected the three of them and did not affect others.
Feng Ran was a bit worried and took a step forward, but was pulled back by Ling Chen, who didn’t dare look at her and shook his head vigorously.
"Forget it, he’s lived long enough." She patted Ling Chen’s hand, "I’m fine, I’ll go see Shuangshuang."
Ling Chen let go, watching her walk away.
Feng Ran saw Chushuang faint on the spot, luckily Gao Zhou was right beside her, treating her in time and saving her life.
"Shuangshuang, I’m sorry for you!" Feng Ran cried miserably.
Chushuang raised her hand, "Without Master, my brother and I couldn’t have escaped Merfolk Island, Master was kind to us. They’re too crazy; if not for controlling me, they wouldn’t repeatedly use you."
Actually, Feng Ran didn’t know whether the great elder secretly fed her Chushuang’s flesh because he couldn’t bear to see her die or wanted her to live longer to control Chushuang.
She even knew that many times when Chushuang harbored death wishes, they threatened her with Feng Ran’s life.
Feng Ran wanted to speak but was persuaded by Gao Deng, "Master, let the past be the past, you can follow us in the future."
"You are Shuangshuang’s husband?" Feng Ran rejoiced, "No wonder Shuangshuang keeps remembering you."
Chushuang’s pale cheeks blushed faintly, "Master..."
Suddenly, deafening rumbling sounds erupted, Feng Ran’s expression changed, "The Barrier is about to be lifted, I’ll create a small Barrier to protect Shuangshuang’s aura."
"Thank you, Master." Chushuang said and also set up the Barrier, though she couldn’t move, her Divine Sense was extraordinarily strong, otherwise, she wouldn’t have nearly trapped Bai Ruozhu before.
On the other side, at the Main Hall gate, the Merfolk looked both expectant and excited, they were finally going to leave this island, but the future was still unknown.
The sky suddenly appeared with huge cracks; it wasn’t the sky cracking, it was the Barrier breaking.
Cracks appeared one after another, as if the sky was being injured, soon the azure sky shattered into fragments, accompanied by a buzzing sound.
Everything around changed, people were surprised, surrounding them was a vast ocean, and beneath them, moving slowly, was the Xuan Gui.
The Xuan Gui seemed to sense something, and suddenly grew angry; people on the island screamed and fell to the ground, as if sitting on a small boat bobbing on the waves, unable to stand stably.
Just then, a man in white rose into the air, stabbed at the sea with a sword, the buzzing suddenly stopped, followed by the enormous Xuan Gui emerging from the sea, with a sword inserted into its head, but upon close examination, the sword only pierced an inch, not even breaking its skin.
"Ruozhu, I can’t hold on much longer, you go and practice the White Dragon." Feng Cheng said urgently.
Bai Ruozhu was about to enter the water, but was held back by Duannian, "I can swim fast, I’ll go."
He jumped into the water, his legs instantly transformed into a fish tail, creating a splash of water.
Someone saw and cried out in surprise, the great elder’s countenance grew more sorrowful, "I remember now! It’s that child, it’s the child named Duannian!"
He seemed mad, crying and laughing, "The prophecy was true, his return really brought us disaster, the entire Merfolk Island is gone, gone! Everything is gone!"
Fo Lanying launched a Divine Sense Attack, "Shut up, old demon!"
Not long after Duannian entered the water, the shadow of the White Dragon appeared, the Xuan Gui sensed danger and immediately abandoned Feng Cheng, charging towards the White Dragon. The Merfolk screamed and fell off the turtle’s back, into the sea.
